Mixing Cricut & scrapNfonts for a Season's Greetings in a Winter Wonderland!

Hey there, this past week's challenge over at Bitten by the Bug was to use the card cut from Christmas Cheer as a blank canvas and incorporate some amazing doodlebats and fonts from scrapNfonts. We were asked to use a doodlebat from DB 'Tis the Season Modern and the font SNF Classy Charm (very classy!). I chose to use the Season's Greetings round tag, which is character "M" from DB 'Tis the Season Modern and also the cutest Snowman (character "Q") from DB Snowy Doodles. You should see what the other design team members did with this challenge, go on over to BBTB and see!

Here's mine:




I love this font SNF Classy Charm...you'll be noticing it more in my future projects...

Not a creature was stirring...

Here's last week's challenge over at the awesomeBitten By the Bug...the challenge was to use the Home from Christmas Cheer, isn't it the cutest house? Go on over to the BBTB site and check out everyone's beautiful creations!

When I first starting thinking about what I wanted to do with this challenge what I envisioned turned into a COMPLETELY different creation! This is part of my work-in-progress acrylic album in memory my cat, Morgan, who past away about a 1 1/2 yrs ago. As a matter of fact this picture was taken about 3 weeks before she was diagnosed with cancer and subsequently died about little more than 3 mos from then.

If you would like to see what I've done so far with this acrylic album you can go here.

I LOVE this picture of her, she was always so cute hanging out or sleeping under the Christmas tree. Unfortunately this picture of the picture you can't see her cute little paws all curled up...

So, here is my take on the challenge...which BTW I hope to still be able to fit in some time before this Christmas to do the project I first envision!...stay tuned for that...
